Thanks Chris,

I think I might have done that accidentally at some point. But, not 
on purpose, so I'll try it and see if I'm getting the full RAM off 
the Radeon, when set that way. It'll be easy to verify, as I should 
have higher resolutions showing millions rather than thousands of 
colors. Thanks again.
